bye getting the deficit down is the essential for those things. that is why our deficit reduction plan is not an alternative to a great plan, it is the very foundation of our great plan. it is the only way that we will get to britain on the rise. now, i know that you are asking whether our plan is working and here is the truth. the damage was worse than we thought and its taking longer than we hoped. the world economy, especially in the year autozone has been much weaker than expected in the last two years. some of your big trading partners like spain, ireland, italy are separating less by us. it makes it harder for us to pay off our debt. but here is the crucial thing you need to know. yes it is worse than we thought and yes it is taking longer but we are making progress thanks to the good result of george osborn we've cut off the deficit. 25%. that has helped to keep our interest rates at record low levels. keeping the market is low. more money in your pockets, giving businesses more confidence to invest, creating more jobs. and if you don't bel

how can he guarantee that and cut the deficit in half as he's promised? >> because we will do what they've not done. if you look at what's happened over the last four years, we have gone from a $5 trillion projected surplus when george bush took office to a $3 trillion projected deficit. they promised they were going to put $2 trillion of the surplus aside for social security. not done. not only that, it's the biggest fiscal turnaround in american history. and there's no end in sight. "the washington post" just reported they have several trillion dollars of additional tax cuts in spending. no suggestion of what they're going to do about it. john kerry and i believe we have a moral responsibility not to leave trillions of dollars of debt to our children and our grandchildren. so, here's what we're going to do, to answer your question, to pay for the things that we believe need to be done. we talk about healthcare and education because we have plans on both those things. what we're going to do is roll back tax cuts -- and i want everyone to hear this becaus

the second has a one half trillion dollar deficit. probably the most cynical gimmick in this bill is something that we all probably agree on. we don't think we should cut doctors' 21% next year. we stop those cuts from occurring every year for the last seven years. we all call this the toxics. well, according to your numbers it cost her her $71 billion. it was in the first iteration of all these bills. because it was a big price tag and made the score look bad, may look like a deficit, that provision was taken out and has been going on in stand-alone legislation. ignoring these costs does not remove them from the backs of taxpayers. hiding spending does not reduce spending. and so when you take a look of this is just as not add up. let's finish with the cost curve. we bending the cost curve down or up? well, if you look at your own chief actuary of medicare revenue up. he is time we are going up $222 billion, adding more to the unsustainable fiscal situation we have. and so when you take a look at this it is really deeper than the def
